Al participar en el conversatorio 'Retos regionales por la ampliacion del Canal Panama" dijo que "en los paises esos valores oscilan entre el 9 y el 18%, y dada la calidad de la infraestructura de transporte de ALC y la carga de los tramites aduaneros, parece razonable pensar que los costos logisticos de la region sean mayores que en las otras regiones emergentes como Asia".

OPINION
Teddy Heinsen, presidente de la entidad, proclamo que la ampliacion del canal de panama traera consigo una revollucion logistica de los mercados.
